Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle
let x be the other leg to be found, then
155² = 124² + x²
24025 = 15376 + x² ( subtract 15376 from both sides )
8649 = x² ( take the square root of both sides )
= x
Hence x = 93 cm ← length of other leg → a
Both mean and median are measures of the center of a set of data.
Mean is normally preffered to the median except if there is an outlier that has a tendency to affect the mean.
An outlier is a data point that significantly differs from the other data points in a sample.
In the data set above, there is no outlier that will affect the mean.
Therefore, he should use the mean because there are no outliers that affect the mean.
